@wtf7960@grok It started with Woodward. Has nothing to do with a particular manager. None of them were backed competently by the board to compete with prime City and Liverpool. This club became more about commercial success than on field success.
@MicaDeJota I remember being on vacation in Europe in 09 and seeing Luis Figo, in public. He was with his wife, and when they saw the fans rushing to him she looked at him and went into a store. He stopped and took photos and signed shirts for what must have been 50 people. Cool moment.
@Rudeboiifizzy@mufcMPB@MatteMoretto Utd need Tonali or Anderson, and maybe 2 other midfielders. We need to replace Casemiro, Ugarte and Mount. It isn’t a one transfer fix. Why spend the whole budget on one player?
@Utdbeni You act like wingers are never supposed to do defensive work. In the system that Carrick is playing you need your wingers to back track and your full-backs to overlap and help with the attack. There’s partnerships all over the pitch now.
@Blue__wp1@markgoldbridge Did you pay attention last summer? Rasmus delayed a transfer until near the end of the window because he wanted to fight for his place at United.
@offtheball It’s not about him sitting in the stands, it’s that you still need to make that phone call to SAF for approval. Look at the Backlash they got for removing him from his ambassador role. SAF earned the right to sit there until his final day.
@UKnightkin80486@Yanitedyano@mcfcman66 He did have people in charge of scouting and recruitment and the academy. Does the name Eric Harrison mean anything to you? Everything just ran through SAF and he made the final decisions. Woodward didn’t know the times were changing. He failed to set up the right structure.
@UKnightkin80486@mcfcman66 More on Woodward. If the board was any level of competent they would have set up a world class structure post SAF. Ed wanted control and was never a football man. He didn’t have a clue and he allowed player power to set in. Therest is history.
@black_mojo_king@drsportsmedia@FCMPod Did they both not get to a Europa League final and lose? Is that not comparable? Was I not speaking about that one specific situation when making the comparison?
